I did use them when in the Air Training Corps, to heat various parts of the 24 hour ration packs in a mess tin. For their small size and light weight, they were very simple and effective. Plus they burn with no ash and no smoke. The fumes are a bit nasty so don’t use inside!
I recall similar ration packs - "compo rations" from the CCF at school. iirc, jam and margarine in tubes (like toothpaste tubes), sugar, chocolate bars and boiled sweets in tins and mock turtle soup (powdered). We used to over-order so that we could stock up our radio room, where we used to hang out and listen to Radio Caroline - drinking our compo ration instant coffee with compo ration condensed milk.

Oh, the racy gauntlets.
Probably his climbing/rope gloves? going by the forum it's on. A bike was a
quick way to access bothies and climbing using estate roads and tracks. Back then no need to book bikes on train (big guards carriages) to travel north to the mountains.

In stealth mode, behind the bench. Obviously the money was not wasted
